iRobot Vacuum and Mop Review

This robot vacuum is not afraid to tackle the stairs, unlike other models. Like any mop or vacuum, it is susceptible to getting blocked by debris, such as tennis shoes, play thread, jewelry, or other loose items.

You can make use of the iRobot Home app to label rooms and set up zones that are not allowed to enter. It also lets you monitor your mops's progress and battery condition.

iRobot Combo j7+

The Combo j7+ joins the iRobot robot vacuum and mop lineup, combining the robotic cleaner's smart mapping capabilities along with the ability to deal with spills. It uses the same acoustic sensor onboard and iAdapt 2.0 Navigation as other Roomba models and maps your home seven times faster than previous versions. It also allows you to create Keep Out Zones (for rooms which the robot should not enter) and Clean Zones (for rooms that it must be able to clean).

The robotic arm is the most important feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad in place when it is not in use and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. In my tests it, the Combo J7+ did a great job at avoiding water spraying on the rug. The robot didn't attempt to pass over the rug, even after I moved it around several times.

The arm is equipped with a 240mL tank which can be easily removed and refilled. This makes it much easier to use as opposed to the mop pads that are found on many other 2-in-1 robotic arms. It also utilizes iRobot's PrevisionVision obstacle avoidance technology which is more sophisticated than other systems of this type.

iRobot Combo i5

This multitasker is designed to mop and vacuum in one machine. The mopping is accomplished with a specialised bin which can hold up to 60 days of debris. According to iRobot, this reduces dust that is released into the air. The i5+ comes with a dual multi-surface rubber brushes and Power-Lifting suction that can tackle dust and dirt as well as pet hair and staining. When you're ready to mop, simply switch the Mopping Bin and a compatible cleaning solution.

The i5+ uses iRobot OS which means it becomes smarter as you use it. It creates a Smart Map, which remembers the names of rooms as well as your preferences for cleaning. The iRobot App lets you create a schedule, or tell the robot to clean a particular room.

iRobot is able to detect household clutter such as shoes, bags, cords and toys. It will then automatically stop and return to the docking station, giving it to recharge and complete the cleaning task at a later date. It is voice-compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri, and Heavy Duty Robot Vacuum understands around 600 voice commands. This is more than any other 2-in-1 robot.

iRobot Combo j5

This robotic vacuum and mop from iRobot is a good choice for homes that have carpets and hard floors. It utilizes intelligent mapping and eliminates obstacles to clean efficiently. It has a variety of mopping options such as the SmartScrub system to remove tough stains. It is also able to establish No Mop Zones so that carpets won't be sucked up. The dock can refill the mopping fluid automatically. The price is higher than the earlier Roomba Combo j7+, however it has more features.

Its patent-pending Mopping Drive System applies a pressure to the floor, allowing a deeper clean. It also removes tough stains. It also works under furniture and into tight spaces for an even more thorough cleaning. The Combo J5+ can be used with the iRobot Clean Base to automatically eliminate dirt.

iRobot Combo i3

The iRobot Combo i3 is an upgraded version of the original Roomba i3. It comes with the same external dirt compartment as well as it also has a HEPA filter to keep allergens out However, it now supports smart mapping. This means you can create zones that are not allowed to be used to stop it from vacuuming those areas again. The i3 Plus still has a number of other great features like its advanced cleaning system that has a 10x power-lifting suction and a three-stage process for cleaning. It also has a textured surface that helps ward off dust, fingerprints and hair of pets.

It cleans most debris and is great on carpets that are not bare, but it did have problems with pet hair when used on low-pile carpets. It does a fantastic job on carpets with a lot of pile and is much quieter than its rivals. The i3 is a little more expensive than the roborock robot vacuum S4 Max but it comes with a self-emptying system which emptys the dirtbag, refills its water reservoir, and cleans its mop pads.

With the i3 app, you can create schedules to clean at a time that is suitable for your requirements. You can also use your voice assistant to control your robot and begin or stop the cleaning. It also monitors the unique floor plan of your home to provide a personalized schedule and cleaning routines. It utilizes advanced mapping sensors to guide you through hardwood and carpet floors, and it also teaches you how you clean to optimize performance.

iRobot Combo i2

The Combo i2 is the latest robot mop and vacuum from iRobot. It incorporates iRobot's intelligent floor cleaning technology to make it a perfect choice for homes with hard flooring and carpets or rugs. The Combo i2 has a combo system that allows it to switch between vacuuming or mopping by pressing one button. It also comes with iRobot’s advanced navigation technology. Its PrevisionVision system is superior to the average and will avoid obstacles like power cables and stairs.

Another great feature of the Combo i2 is its dual multi-surface brushes. They offer a more thorough clean than standard mops by removing more dirt deep down in corners and along edges. The robot's acoustic sensor allows this. The Combo i2 also offers powerful suction as well as an intelligent design. It can be controlled via the iRobot app as well as voice assistants and an programmable schedule.

iRobot Combo i1

The Combo i1 is one of the few robot vacuums that can mop. When the unit detects that a surface needs to be cleaned, it raises and swivels underneath it using an arm that is equipped with a cleaning pad. The back has a dustbin and a water tank which can be removed to add cleaning solution. The robot uses the Bona cleaning product, however it can also be utilized with other brands.

In contrast to most robot vacuums the Combo i1 can retract its mophead completely to the top of the robot when it spots carpet. This lets it vacuum and then wipe the carpet clean with its microfiber cleaning cloths and ensure that the surfaces are spotless. It comes with a wide range of sensors and impressive navigation capabilities to avoid obstacles like furniture and cords.

It also has an upgraded battery to last longer and a self-emptying mode that reduces the frequency of emptying the bin. It's a great option for families who need the convenience of one robot, but with the flexibility offered by the different cleaning modes. It can be controlled by voice commands using Alexa or Siri on devices that are compatible with Google Assistant. It can even be scheduled to start and heavy duty robot vacuum stop at the time you leave and come back.

It is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it using voice commands. Additionally, it comes with smart mapping technology that means you can create a schedule and the robot will do the task for you.

It features a slim-profile docking station that doesn't take up much space. It also comes with a dirt compartment that can be empty with the press of one button. The compartment is made of opaque plastic, which means you won't be able to see what's inside. The i4 is also lacking features such as the AI-powered obstacle avoidance and keep-out zones on the j7 and j7+.

It does come with a powerful vacuum system and brushes made of rubber that don't get tangled by pet hair. It's an excellent choice for homes with high pile carpets as it can take on more dirt and debris than less powerful vacuums. The i4 is also less demanding in terms of maintenance requirements, has lower costs for recurring maintenance and runs longer in its most powerful suction mode than the i7.
